Sam Boyds do, Sam Boyds don't

Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider Dean Wilson ended his 2010 Supercross season on a high note after claiming fourth in the East-West Lites shoot-out at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. The British ex-pat just missed out on a podium by a split second as Kawasaki made it a 1-2-3 at the top. Meanwhile in the World and AMA Supercross class, 2010 champ Ryan Dungey topped-off a superb season as a rookie to claim the final victory.
After slipping down the order during the last few rounds, Dungey came into the final round in Las Vegas with a clear head and hopes of having some fun. As the gate dropped Dungey was gone, claiming the holeshot and claiming a flag to flag victory. Behind Dungey Kawasaki's Chad Reed got off to an average start and made his way through to run in second early on, Reed was quick to find his rhythm and followed Dungey home for a solid second overall, his first Supercross podium of the season.
